The point was they mandate all kinds of crazy things with very little benefit to the vast majority of the US population.
We bought a 13" TV ($99 on sale for $89), and wanted another a couple months later. The cheapest was $130. So I ask "Why?". They informed me the new TVs had to have CC.
That was a 30% jump. And nobody but me noticed. I noticed only because of the timing.
Mandating DD that costs a $1 and benefits everyone would never be noticed by 99% of the population.
The people who complain will stop when they find out it will save them money. Aim for their wallet!
